Better Bulges is a set of overrides for official Maxis TS4 clothing for masculine-framed sims. These overrides aim to improve the bulges in clothing bottoms, from shorts to underwear to wetsuits and everything in-between.

I prefer realism in my game, and all bulge overrides are created with this in mind. I try to pay attention to how certain fabrics would behave, while also trying to avoid excessive texture-stretching or too much clipping from oversized meshes.  Some overrides also include alterations to textures, shadow maps, or weight mapping in order to 'fix' issues included in official clothing.

The current version of the mod includes most underwear, swimwear, and Base Game clothing. I will add overrides for clothing from DLC packs over time.

Because this is a set of overrides, Better Bulges can be removed or added to your game at any time. Just drop the file in your /Mods location and you're ready to go!

BETTERBULGES IS AVAILABLE IN TWO VERSIONS:
1) BASE.
Contains all overrides (currently over 130 clothing pieces from the game).
2) LITE. Contains overrides for only underwear and swim briefs.

YOU SHOULD ONLY INSTALL ONE OF THE VERSIONS IN YOUR GAME!

BE AWARE: Any clothing with an override will show a bulge on a feminine-framed sim (unless the game includes a separate female version of the clothing). Depending on the size and shape of the bulge, it can be distorted by the game's automatic clothing conversion process. If you use masculine clothing on feminine sims and this issue bothers you, I suggest you avoid this mod.

Absolutely love your content, but there is a file that I can't find. It's the SimpleVaginaMale, I am trying to create a transgender couple but vaginas for male sims dont show up. can you help please lol

Hey! Sorry, I'm in the process of organizing my content/posts with a new masterpost to make it easier to find stuff, so things are a little bit messier than they should be right now. The file you're looking for is here: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4279735/ It should be the most recent version of the male vagina. Let me know if you encounter any issues!

Are there plans to add options for larger bulges, as some kind of accessory you can turn on/off?

simdulgence

I'm not entirely sure how an accessory bulge would work - I imagine that kind of thing would clip quite a lot. As for larger bulges: I do try to avoid a) clipping with top clothing and b) texture stretching, so both of those would impact how big a bulge gets. But yes, I'm thinking about providing something like that if I can. :)

Is it possible to make a override that works on all CC Clothing tagged masculine?

simdulgence

Not to my knowledge. Each of the overrides in this post is a result of me editing the mesh to create the bulge; the only way I know of to do that for all clothing would be a slider that brought the front of the groin forward to simulate a bulge. This isn't fully ideal for two reasons: 1) The slider would only bring the existing mesh forward, which means bulges could look blocky/bad/not smooth if the underlying mesh isn't set up nicely. 2) The slider would affect all lower clothing, and since the penises are technically clothing, your naked sim would have a strange bulging crotch that would probably distort the penis shape.
